2025 Rankings Nears 170 Prospects [Free]
Kansas’ 2025 class rankings update dropped today just as schools start wrapping up the first two weeks of the 2024 season. Juniors are able to step into the light with the 2023s graduated and following a summer of game improvement. The explosion of debuting prospects from all classifications in this December update [subscription only] speaks to the number who have seized their opportunity. The nearly 30 new additions follows on the 20 plus that debuted in September.
There have been notable changes within the top 20 including new additions to the top 10 and 20. Debuters also appear in the top 50. And while there have been advancers, a nearly 30% increase in included prospects finds most players sliding down the ranks. Sliding for the majority reflects the large number of competitors in the class having become more visible.
As before I would like to thank fellow Kansas scouts Jeremy Deckard and Adrian Maloney for their contributions. We draw from a wide range of resources to create the rankings. We catch games in person and online, study highlights; read reports; and communicate with a wide range of people to distill the information down to compile the extensive lists. Especially in the summer through fall months players get seen by other PGH scouts in other states and often show up, even if not tagged, in write-ups for other states. Players out due to injury or other personal reasons are not removed. I personally would like to thank parents, fans, other media and sports writers, coaches at a variety of levels, and especially the players for helping keep our knowledge level high. The news, photos, video, reports, and comments you have shared are immensely helpful.
